All PE Kit should be kept in a named drawstring PE bag.

HAIR & MAKEUP
Long hair must be tied back whilst in school. Children will be asked to tie back their hair when it touches their shoulders.
Extreme styles such as Mohicans and shaved patterns are not acceptable in school.
Plain navy or blue Alice bands or hair ties may be used – no large ribbons
Hair should not be dyed.
Makeup or nail varnish should not be worn to school.
Children should not wear tattoos.
The Health Authority no longer carries out regular checks on children's hair but the occasional problem of head lice still remains. To avoid this, we ask parents to make regular inspections, with careful brushing and combing to help identify unwanted passengers. Please help us in this matter.
JEWELLERY
No jewellery may be worn except a watch and/or small ear studs.
Watches with calculators or the ability to record or photograph are not allowed.
For Health and Safety reasons, all jewellery must be removed for PE and Games and remains the responsibility of the child.
Body piercings are not permitted
If parents wish for their children to have their ears pierced, arrangements should be made for this to be done at the beginning of the summer holidays – this allows their ears to heal without having to remove the sleeper.
BAGS
Children should have a small drawstring bag in which their PE kit is stored
Children in the infants should all have a book bag.
Junior children may have a small rucksack to carry their lunch box, reading book, and planner.
